What is your Favourite SSD (Super Star Destroyer)?
« on: May 24, 2014, 05:21:00 PM »
Mines has got to be the Eclipse! It has a Super Laser on it! What's not to like. The Sovereign would come a close second though.

For me it's the Sovereign.  I like the design better than the Eclipse or Eclipse II, and it still has the superlaser and gravity wells so that it really is a full fleet in a single ship.  Much weaker than the Executor/Viscount/Vengeance/Eclipse Dreadnoughts in pure combat, but still more than capable of destroying entire fleets of standard capital ships.

Executor class variant Night Hammer . Stealth armor, reduced need for crew, increased hangar capacity, flawless evacuation equipment and compartmentalized damage control.

Yes but with this you have a super laser. So technically you are a match for them. But not in head on combat

Second vote for Night Hammer, preferably commanded by Delvardus instead of Daala.

Yeah, my vote is to the Knight Hammer, with the Sovereign in second and Vengeance in third.

Good to be like minded individuals the awesome ness of the night hammer. I think Delvardus might even have been a better commander then Daala I mean he actually founded a decent Kingdom then managed to escape after being beaten with a sizable amount of his forces whereas the Daala normally lose is 99 percent of her forces

Hmmm . . . The guy who lost a Praetor-II to a Nebulon-B and some Y-wings and who could care less for his men, or the Imperial Admiral who kept having ridiculous plot bunnies (I mean seriously, the whole thing with losing the Knight Hammer was ridiculous and contrived and can't even be attributed to a bad commander/crew) thrown her way and actually cared for the people under her command. To be honest, I'd rather go with Daala.

If I had to choose to serve under an Imperial leader it'd be in this order,
Grand Admiral Thrawn, Grand Admiral Pellaeon, Grand Moff Kaine, or Warlord Zsinj.

I don't like Delvardus, I just think that if you spend several years building a SSD, you should at least be given a chance to blow something up with it (bad memories from building a Viscount in New Republic FTGU campaign).

He was dumb enough to show up to the meeting...

Personally, if I were he and I had a completed stealth Executor as my flagship and the support vessels he had, I would have told Daala to, politely, shove off when when she tried to get me to come to the meeting.

To be fair the last times they had such unified meetings they did very well, shadow hand being a decent example.
Perhaps he felt that with Daalas popularity with lower ranks and Pellaeons past affiliation with Thrawn there might be something eventful.
Also he knew Teradoc and Harrsk were attending and if by some miracle they joined and others did he might be the first target of said alliance,but when he saw hhow unlikely that alliance seemed when he was at the meeting he decided to leave.

Ya gotta love the Eclipse. After working for it throughout all of FOC and only getting to use it once, it feels good to see it in it's full glory...unless you're on the receiving end

Well, if you're a space whale, it already sucks to be you, so it's a good thing that the Sovereign puts it out of it's misery.  :D

I don't recall ever getting to use it...just a stupid video at the end.

Ruined the whole game for me.

The final mission is stealing the Eclipse at the Kuat Shipyards a couple days after Endor.
You just head in with a boarding party and take it while the Rebels show up to conveniently distract the Empire. Having been only partially completed, the Eclipse lies immobile in the top left corner, but a superlaser lets you destroy anything. The laser breaks or overheats or something and then an SSD shows up. You blow up the incoming SSD like you normally would and the game ends.
I had a save just before this mission started, but I foolishly deleted it. Now if I ever want to do it again I'll have to endure Dathomir and the terrible cutscenes and corruption missions and everything else that made the expansion's campaign bad.
